Ethiopia has a huge potential for growing rubber commercially, says Horizon Addis Tyre Company

Ethiopia has a huge potential for rubber but commercial production hasn’t started yet.

“The information, that I do have, shows that in the Bebeka area of Ethiopia, the climate is most suitable for rubber plantations. In the past, a test was carried out and it showed that the quality of rubber in terms of the chemical properties was extremely good,” says Umesh Davera, General Manager of Horizon Addis Tyre Company.
